Gim and Lawes tap JD Lind as emergency umpire to resolve no-tick dispute on logoed center line

[@mikew6644]

So a guard can’t be cleared on the first few throws AND a guard on the center line can’t be moved off that line?? Did not know that…

[@hepenypacker]

I thought the rule was you couldn’t even touch a rock on the center line. Learn new things all the time

[@glenm99]

It's a new (well, two years old) rule called the "no tick rule." curling.ca has a really nice poster on their web site explaining it.

[@akzachernuk]

The rule's only about a year old, but yeah.

[@michaelolive5070]

That rule applies at the 'pro' level. At local clubs, not usually in force.

[@MasterPoppers]

@@michaelolive5070 The rule does technically apply at the club level. It just isn't enforced often.

Gee thanks Co-op!
